Will anyone admit to enjoying watching soap operas on TV?

I mean....does Beverly Hills 90210 count? If so, then yes.

I watched enough of that show to know who the main characters were.  Again similar to Kassie DePaiva, Tiffani Thiessen was easily the main draw for me.  Her character was supposed to be from Buffalo as well I think lol.  I never liked the Kelly Taylor character though

I was overseas in the military many years ago. It was back when AFN only had like 2 channels. Guiding light and General Hospital were the 2 soaps they aired. I worked Swing Shift and Guiding Light came on shortly after I got up each day. Suffice to say, that became my daily routine. Guiding Light was number 1, so when I shifted to day shift, I would set my lunch break to keep up with that one.

This scene always kills me!

"Kevin's a skunk."

"Kevin gets all the girls."

"He sure got Nikki."

That movie's a classic!

Except for the farce that 'SOAP' was, I have always hated the genre, whether badly acted daytime versions, or more polished evening versions. (Dallas, Dynasty, etc.)

What I am surprised at is the number of Canadians that are gaga over 'The Young and the Restless'.

Yes she was. This was a particularly delicious time for Ms. Thiessen. She was lookin' head and shoulders above her Kelly Kapowski days.

 

I was a Brenda man at first (I have bad taste in women) but once Valerie came along...9021Oh baby.

Absolutely

 

 

But I do like Shannen Doherty.  What's she's going through now is very sad

I watched 90210...

 

Does pro wrestling count?  Still watch it 

[T&C]

Just saw an ad for "Duck family treasures".  If you have no brain cells left to give watch this blockbuster... pile of *****.

Seems I'm the only one to watch them in the TV lounge in college just to meet chicks...pathetic. 

[Joe Ferguson forever]

technically not a soap opera but these guys are divas and the show plays like one.  That said, I really enjoy the Formula 1 series on Netflix.  The crashes are pretty amazing too...

there is one genre of soap I have watched in my past and that is those produced in Columbia. Narco telenovela types galore out there on Netflex. The Mafia Dolls and  Pablo Escobar el Patron del Mal are 2 I watched 

 

The women are always beautiful the guys not always hot but interesting and much more filled with overt sex and violence than what you see on American televison
